23.05.2024: Deepika Padukone has faced a wave of negativity on social media since announcing her pregnancy earlier this year. In a strong show of support, fellow actress Alia Bhatt has spoken out against the trolls targeting Deepika, leading to a viral reaction online.

Deepika Padukone Faces Trolls

Deepika Padukone, expecting her first child with actor-husband Ranveer Singh, stepped out to vote in the fifth phase of the Mumbai Lok Sabha Election 2024 on May 20. Unfortunately, her public appearance attracted negative comments from some netizens, who criticized her body and even called her baby bump “fake.”

Support from Faye D’Souza

In response to the trolling, senior journalist Faye D’Souza posted a powerful message on Instagram, defending Deepika. Faye wrote, “Dear social media, Deepika Padukone stepped out to do her democratic duty and vote. She did not ask for your feedback on her body or her pregnancy. You have no right to comment on any aspect of her life. Stop it. Behave.”

Alia Bhatt and Others Show Solidarity

Alia Bhatt quickly liked Faye’s post, as did her sisters Pooja Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt, and their mother Soni Razdan. This act of solidarity from Alia and her family has been praised by many.

Celebrity Reactions

Actress Shruti Seth responded to Faye’s post, saying, “Luckily @deepikapadukone is too busy taking over the world to give a damn! She’s walking all over their damn opinions.” Actress Aahana Kumra commented, “Good on you Faye.” TV star Tina Datta added, “Exactly! People have lost it.”

Fans Praise Alia Bhatt

Fans of Deepika have expressed their appreciation for Alia’s support. One fan commented, “After the hate Alia got, I can see her empathising with DP (everyone sympathises but Alia went through the speculations too, so can personally relate).” Another fan wrote, “Yes, this is the time they need to be supportive! It’s just too personal to stoop at this level and interfere. Opinions by strangers on herself is the last thing she needs right now. Hope the baby and mama and dad are all okay and living every moment.”

Alia Bhatt’s reaction to the trolling of Deepika Padukone has sparked a viral conversation about the importance of supporting expectant mothers and standing against online negativity. As celebrities and fans rally around Deepika, the message is clear: personal attacks and body shaming have no place in our society.
